T 20 Parts

[Rusty Swamp Fox]

Do they offer a small parts kit for a T20? Thrust washers and the like. the trans in my Hustler is getting weak and in need of a rehaul. If they do where do I get it.

RI-Muddox has a gasket -seal and thrust washer kit that comes with new snap rings also.

I just got off the phone with Recreatives, I need one for my build also. Their price was $63.20.

$63 may sound expensive, but the generic seals alone are almost $30, plus you get case half gaskets, fiber washers, o-rings, circlips, etc.

Yep, I got no problem with it. Even the shift collar for a hundred fifty or so isn't that bad...at least compared to how much time I'd spend making it myself.

Do you call recreatives or mudd ox in Ind? Whenever I try to call recreatives nobody answers??

Now that the holidays are over, you should have better luck this week. Due to the large amount of snow that was dumped over the weekend....afternoon may be better than this morning. Personally I'm staying home today

well I guess it would be to easy to call Max. I should have thought of that. Thanks for the input. Has anyone put suspension on a hustler yet?

I ordered parts for my t20 last week. took several tries over several days but I finally got through on the RI number from the website. Did not try calling Muddox directly.

I took the first half of my transmission apart and found some scoring on the planetary gear shaft where it goes into the bronze bushing in the case. The bushing was scored too. Its not horrible, but there is definitely some bad wear. Is that bronze bushing available from RI? Any chance that someone will have a used planetary gear for me?

On the other hand, if it will go for a few hundred hours as is, I'm fine with putting it back in too.

[thebuggyman1]

Some scoring is typical and not anything to worry about. The bushings are available through R.I., but like all bushings, they shrink after being pressed in. You will need to ream them to the correct size.

FYI: The sun gear is the tiny one in the center. The planetary gears are the 3 that attach to the drum and rotate around the sun. I believe you are referring to the drum with the "ring gear". The 3 planetary gears spin it.

Well, mostly right. The very, VERY early T-20s whose design was commissioned by the Catholic Church were of very similar construction, but had a single "Earth" gear mounted in the center and had one Sun gear and two planetary gears that spun around the main shaft on each side. Operation was about identical, but the faithful quickly realized that modifications were necessary to predictably explain the unit's operation. The new "Copernican T-20" as we know it is a subsequent redesign from the 1540s in which a single sun gear resides in the center per Buggyman's description.
